Linn Creek Mayor says he’s Dropping Bid to Annex

Linn Creek’s bid to annex property bordering its western city limits appears to be dead in the water. When the city filed the request with the Missouri Department of Transportation, they were required to notify any city within five miles, so that they could file an approval or objection before MoDot considered the request. Linn Creek Mayor Jack Thornhill has said he wanted the property close to V Road and up to the Camdenton City limits near Wal-Mart for traffic control and motorist assistance, since the only police presence was the Camden County Sheriff’s Department. Osage Beach and Camdenton have filed letters in opposition, in fact Camdenton has letters of intent from property landowners who have expressed intent to annex into Camdenton, so the whole process may start again.
